Arizona State’s Kalen Ballage scored eight touchdowns against Texas Tech in 2016 to tie Howard Griffith (Illinois, 1990) for the NCAA single-game touchdown record.
Oklahoma running back Samaje Perine set an FBS single-game rushing record during a 44-7 win over Kansas in 2014. The true freshman from Pflugerville, Texas, carried 34 times for 427 yards and five touchdowns.
Twitter was furious when Patterson was taken out of the game after his 36th carry.
I’ve never been more furious at a MAC team for scoring 70 points than I am at Buffalo for doing that to Jaret Patterson.

Note: The CBS Sports color guy is not even hiding how furious he is that he didn't get a chance to call a viral moment.

Patterson, a 5-foot-9, 195-pound junior, was coming off a school-record 301 yards rushing and four touchdowns against Bowling Green.
Against Kent State he shattered that mark, rushing for his eighth TD on this 65-yard run.
Absolutely unreal. Somehow, someway Jaret Patterson gets his 8th 🏠 ☎️ pic.twitter.com/RVdOF5QTiL

Another week, another 300+ yard performance for Jaret Patterson, and he breaks his own school record for the second straight game!
The last time a player had 300+ rush yards in back to back games was Ricky Williams in 1996. pic.twitter.com/346sxFN1zh
